Enrile presents a strong case in support of Duterte & Monsod sidesteps ~Share

I am not crazy about Enrile but his arguments why he favors Duterte are strong and Winnie Monsod found it to be difficult to pin down Juan Ponce Enrile with her tough questions. Despite his age, Enrile's mind is still very sharp.

On the other-hand, Winnie Monsod disappoints me. I used to be a big fan, but her obvious bias and lack of objectivity is pathetic. Her newspaper column is a yellow's mouthpiece. Well, it is not surprising if she is a Liberal Party loyalist after-all she and her husband were nurtured that the LP.

At one point in the interview, Monsod tried to liken Duterte to the much hated President Marcos, but she failed in her attempt to portray Duterte as another Marcos because of the way former Senator Juan Ponce Enrile handled the question.

Enrile is one of the brilliant lawyers this country has produced, it is just too bad that his reputation has been blemished by his association with Marcos, the several coup attempts during Cory Aquino's time, and the pork barrel scam.

when crime rate went down by 49%, our fishermen are again fishing in the south china sea and more investments are coming..and we have peace with the NPAs....those who are against Duterte seem to be the stupid, delusional , and sick....Bello included...

If Mar were the president, we would buy more jet fighter and perhaps aircraft carrier to fight and defend the disputed island and totally strengthen the american friendship. That is not Duterte style. In just 10 days (china and japan visit), everything turned different for the sake of our fishermen , business investment,infrastructure and peace in mindanao.

etong monsood nato nag iinterview ba or she is judging? did she done something to our country?? kaya di sya nanalo eh, how about the killing an innocent people in syria?? in iraq? is she thinking about it comparing in our country, wtf she's doing??

Monsod is all the way down a yellowtard, nowhere in her columns or public discourse did she once find something good with Duterte and his administration. She is a 100 percent died to the wool Yellow defender.

May be it's high time for us to boycott Monsod's columns and tv shows! She never appreciates the good things done by President Duterte for the country. What a shame Monsod. Believe pa naman ako sa'yo noon. Napaka bias mo. Sana ma karma ka sa iyong mga ginagawa!

damn right ! These hypocrites should stop their absurdity! They can not pull a good regime down .. like FEM & now DU30!!! We've been cheated & frustrated by 2 Aquino's... it's about time to go forward & burry the hatchet!

Winnie is obviusly anti duterte no matter what digong will do. So sad, her once brilliant mind has now been tai ted by subjective presumptions. I for one USED to be a fan of her. But maybe age has closed her mind to new ideas that's why she revels on now perceived brilliance. The line of questioning, the facial expression and the body language all speaks hatred to Duterte every time she utters a word in this interview. Supposedly, you get wiser when you age. I guess she has crossed that line and is now on her way to degeneration.

Both have good and strong points and valid issues. It's hard to take sides since both are brilliant people to begin with. However, let us not forget how much rights the victims of the drug menace do have a citizens and how much equal right to be protected those who don't do, manufacture nor sell drugs, which is criminal in the first place. The problem is, we are condoning already the crime once we start differentiating the mild users to the hard-core ones. Drug users are drug users and the possession of it is already considered a criminal act and a violation of the law. Now, when they start resisting arrest and started pointing a deadly weapon at you, shouldn't the arresting party do everything in its power to protect themselves? Prof. Winnie Monsod herself said so that 1,000 out of the 3000 were killed by the police. On the other hand, I also wanted to hear our authorities what they have been doing to investigate and stop the other 2,000 killed by someone else other than the police authorities. Somehow, I have not yet heard anything about that as well. Let's be fair that there truly are collateral damages. If we are a responsible society run by responsible government, we should equally feel sorry for them and honor them as well. That's my opinion of course.

Enrile is on to something there. He really is a military person. He's right, to maintain order you have to do what's necessary to achieve it. So I'm supporting the Duterte's drug war. Kill the innocents, or kill the criminals? I prefer the latter.
